Chinese Cabbage or is it Napa?

Well, there are several problems when one decides to run to the local mega home store to get a flat of seedlings.  The moment of impatience is rewarded with unknown varieties (tag reads one thing, what grows up is something else), weakened plants and some infestations that are new to your small part of the planet. Then there is the social conscious of all things sacrificed for mega marts. Sometimes I just need to learn the lesson again.

1) Everything is ready at once. ACK!!!! Hello, Kimchi Recipe. No, I think I might experiment with some Polish cabbage rolls - Gołąbki,  or perhaps Sauerkraut.

2) Aphids!!!!!!!!!!! What! Really? All female and born pregnant with a 20 day gestation. No Way!

Ok, lesson learned. More seed packets from Seeds of Change or Abundant Life Seed Company .
